Farmer Bell did not find the wildcats,
though il was evident some wild animal
had made its lair in the hole, but in
searching under the fallen bricks and
earth, was found metal box. Forcing
it open bank-notes to a large amount wero
discovered, little injured by the damp.
Farmer Bell gave Muldoon part Of
the sum, as he had drawn attention to
the place where the treasure was found.
"Ould Mulligan's ghost, he gave me
two starts, he said the other day. "Ono
kilt me entirely, and took my sinses

MULLIGAN'S GHOST.

''You. Muldoon, you'd better hitch up
the critters, and take them bags of corn
to mill. jest want you to remember
that old Lytlc amt got any call to take
his toll out of this here lot. lie owes me
for barrel of meal scnce last gIindin' +"
''It's moighty late it is to go to mill
now, Misther Bell" Pat Muldoon an
swered. He was q tall, gowky Irish lad,
with none Of the national quickness and
humor visible in his long, solemn face. "It's
purity nigh the sunsettin' now, I'm think
in. It's four mile 10 mill, and rn be
comm back long afther the dark

the farmer, land I'd jest like to know
what's the dark goin' ter do ter you9 1t
saves time to send late; and then reckon
you'll come back a heap quicker fur old
Mulligan's ghost at yer heels"
Farmer Bell laughed derisively as he
spoke, for in all that neighborhood he
was probably the only individual who
did not believe implicitly in Mulligan's
ghost.
Anyway, Muldoon, f" he laughed, "ef
he does come up with you, you'll under
stand his lingo, for he was Irish too, as
well as you, and ghosts always talk in
their mother tongue. Maybe, too, as
you're countryman. he'll be willin' to
tell yeu whar he hid all his money, fur

Old Lytle complained of the dog last

Muldoon's heart sank as he hitched up
the mules, with Lions impatient bark
and howl as a discordant accompani-
msnt. He was an immense mastiff, and
accustomed to follow the boy wherever
he wsnt. Muldoon felt that the dog

rising into hills, which descended into
dark ravines thickly grown up with an
derbrush and gloomy magnolias. Half
way TO the mill stood the Mulligan farm,
the only vestige of human habitation on
his road. Terrible stories were told about
that tumble-down cabin, and most of the
superstitious neighbors would go mile
out of the road to avoid passing the
place.
Old Mulligan had come there some
years before. A morose, silent old man,
who held no intercourse with his neigh
bors, and lived entirely alone. He al
ways seemed to have plenty of money,
and though no one was ever invited into
the house, they all knew it was furnished
only with such things as were absolutely
necessary. The moody old mans Ian

The Use OF Paper Bags.

"The days of the market baskets are
numbered" said a basket dealer to
New York SIN reporter. "The paper
bag is running it out for good. There
used to be time when every family had
a market basket, which was carried on
whenever supplies were to be purchased.
When a man goes to market now he
doesn't take basket along. At the first
stall where he makes a purchase the
marketman asks, Large bag or small
bagP
''If the man is on regular marketing
tour he says; Large bag The dealer
puts the purchase in a handsome MANILA
bag three or four feet long, which will
hold as much as any ordinary
market basket. The bag is made
of exceptionally strong paper, and
will hold the weight Of anything
you can put into it, including
half peck of potatoes. When the last
purchase has been deposited in it the
buyer has the dealer to tie it up This is
quickly done, in such manner that
nice cord handle is furnished, and no one
would ever guess that the bag contains
marketing. 1t looks more like bundle
of dry goods. Every Saturday evening
you can see men going home on the cars
with these nice bundles who would never
dream of carrying market baskets. One
day saw an aristocratic carrier turn pale
with rage as big shad, wet and glisten-
ing, forced its way through the paper and
fell on the floor of an elevated car. The
fish dealer had neglected to wrap the wet
fish up in brown paper before putting it in
the bag, and the water had weakened the
bag until the shad broke through.
Market baskets are very cheap now"

Chinese Doctors.

A Chinaman who wishes to become q
doctor does not go through any special
training or spend money in buying
a practice. He has only to purchase a
pair of spectacles and gather some herbs,
few spiders, and some snakes, which
he places in bottles in the window of his
shop. The bottles are his advertisement; !;
they tell all who are in need of healing
to come to him. His favorite prescrip-
tion is horrible pill compounded Of
parts of snakes, wasps, centipcdes, toads,
and scorpions ground small and mixed
with honey. Another pill, supposed to
be of extraordinary efficacy in cases Of
extreme weakness, is made of the bones
OF tigers. The belief in its merit is
based on this strange piece of reasoning:
The tiger is very strong; the bone is the
strongest part of the strong animal /;
therefore a pill of this must be pre-
eminenty strengthening. These facts
speak eloquently as to the state of medi-
cal science in China. The lamentable
consequence is an excessive mortality.
1t is calculated that 33, 600 die daily, and
this number is, of course, largely in
creased during an epidemic, which is no
uncommon visitor.

Farming Under pifaeultIes.

In narrative of Lord McCartney's
Embassy to China, it is related that his
lordship's attendants, in passing through
part of that empire, saw a man culti-
waiting the side of precipiee, and on
examination they found he had a rope
fastened around his waist, which was
secured at the top of the mountain, and
by which he let himself down to any part
Of the precipice where a few yards of
available ground gave him encourage
ment TO plant his vegetables and his corn.
The whole of the cultivated spots, which
were at some distancs from each other,
appeared to be not more than half an
acre, and near the bottom of precipice,
on hillOek, he had little hut -

Origin OF HONEYMOON.

1t may not be generally known that the
word "honeymoohn is derived from the
ancient Teutons, and means drinking for
thirty days after marriage of metheglin,
mead, or hydromel, kind of wine made
from honey. Attila, celebrated King
of the Huns, who boasted of the appella-
tion, 1.-THE Seourge of God" is said to
have died on his nuptial night from an
uncommon effusion of blood, brought on
by indulging too freely in hydromel at
his wedding feast.
The term honeymoon" now signifies
the first month after marriage, or so much
of it as is spent from home. John Tobin,
in "The Honeymoon" thus refers to it:
This truth is Manifesto gentle wife
Is still the sterling comfort of a mans life;
To fools a torment, but a lasting boon
To those who wisely keep their honeymoon.

barn. They sat close together in a row.

Making Mnsic.Roxes.

The chief industry of Geneva, Switzer.
land, is the manufacture of music boxes.
Thousands of men, women and children
arc employed in the factories, QUE OF
which was visited by young American,
Mr.. Lee Meriwether. An attendant in
vited him to take seat. He did SO,
and strains of delightful music came
from the chair. He hung his hat on
rack and put his travelling staff in the
stand. Music came from both rack and
stand. He wrote his name in the visi-
tors register, and, on dipping his pen in
the ink, the music burst forth from the
inkstand.
The manager of the factory explained
the process of making music boxes, a
business which requires patience and
nicely. The different parts are made by
men who are experts in those parts, and
they do nothing else, year in and year
out. The music is marked ON the cylin.
der by man who has served several
years of pprenticeship. Another man
inserts in the marked places pegs which
have been filed to a uniform length.
The comb or set of teeth which strikes
the pegs, and makes the sound, is ar.
ranged by man who does nothing else
The cylinder is then revolved to see that
every peg produces proper tone. The
most delicats.work of all is the revising
of each pegS 1t is done by workman
who has good ear for music. He sees
